Sequined Dress and Brass Pins in Denpasar

Copper-toned light from the setting sun spills across a concrete floor, meeting the harsh white glare of overhead warehouse fluorescents. A sequined dress lies flat beside scattered brass pins, its surface catching the mixed illumination in sharp, jagged points. Behind the arrangement, a mirror lined with bright makeup bulbs reflects the humid air lingering after the monsoon rain. The negative space surrounding the subject emphasizes the stillness of the room. Brass pins rest in small, organized clusters near the hem of the dress. At the edge of the frame, one pin lies on its side, its head reflecting the mirror's glow.
